Description
Ecdysis-Ec"dy*sis\, n.; pl. Ecdyses. [NL., fr. Gr. 'e`kdysis a getting out, fr. 'ekdy`ein, to put off; 'ek out + dy`ein to enter.] (Biol.) The act of
shedding, or casting off, an outer cuticular layer, as in the case of serpents, lobsters, etc.; a coming out; as, the ecdysis of the pupa from its shell; exuviation. [Spanish t ranslation: Ecdicis]
ECDISIS is a sculpture-based exhibition and public billboard featuring works by Ana Teresa Fernandez that draw attention to the fragility and susceptibility of single women in towns along the U.S./Mexico border.
The presentation will display the sculptures in an atmosphere of isolation and anonymity. Ecdisis aims to trigger a sense of intimacy with the viewer, creating one instance that diffuses a grand scale notion of social inequality down to an individual sculpture in front of him or her.
